Payroll/ Systems Consultant

Position Overview

You’re a systems-minded payroll and HR professional who loves getting inside HR and payroll platforms and making them work better. You understand how payroll and HR operations actually run — and you know how to optimize systems like Paycor, Workday, ADP, Paylocity, UKG, or similar platforms so that clients can operate more efficiently, accurately, and confidently.

This is a client-facing consulting role focused on:

• System optimization
• Configuration and setup
• Process improvement
• Client support and training

We’re looking for someone who understands payroll and HR operations and knows how to translate that knowledge into well-configured, well-functioning systems. You may come from a background where you:

• Process payroll and also helped implement or configure systems
• Led HRIS or payroll system transitions
• Served as a system owner or power user for Paycor or Workday
• Worked in construction, manufacturing, or other complex payroll environments
